She announced on Instagram that her first season was in Pittsburgh in American Ninja Warrior 7. Her run was cut, but she failed the Log Grip.
American Ninja Warrior 10[]
She returned in American Ninja Warrior 10 after a two-year hiatus. Competing in Philadelphia, she had an amazing sophomore run clearing the first 3 obstacles. She later cleared the Wingnuts but landed awkwardly on the dismount and ended up tearing her ACL. She would have made the womens' top 5 by placing 5th, but due to her ACL she did not run. She was then replaced by McKinley Pierce who placed 6th for the women. Her run was cut on broadcast, but parts were shown in her next season on ANW 11.
American Ninja Warrior 11[]
After 11 months of rehab, she returned in Baltimore for her third season on American Ninja Warrior 11. She was hesitant on the dismount of the Double Twister, making sure she doesn't repeat another painful landing, but was able to clear it safely. She later failed the Hazard Cones, but advanced to the City Finals placing 3rd for the women.
In the city finals, she got redemption on the Hazard Cones, making a good save on the landing platform. However, she gassed out on the next obstacle, Crank It Up. Her pace there wasn't enough to make the womens' top 2.
American Ninja Warrior 13[]
She competed on the fourth episode of qualifying on American Ninja Warrior 13. Her run was all cut, but she was one of many to go out on just the second obstacle, Double Down. She didn't make the womens' top 5.
American Ninja Warrior 15[]
She competed for her fifth season in the sixth qualifier round. Her run was all cut, but she failed on Pole Vault, going out on just the first obstacle.
American Ninja Warrior 16[]
She competed for her sixth season in the eighth and last qualifier round. Her run was all cut again, but she once again failed on Pole Vault, becoming the first competitor to fail that obstacle more than once.
